Swampscott Eatery: From Deli to Flatbread?

Posted: March 9th, 2009 | Author: KN | Filed under: Marblehead, Swampscott | Tags: Manhattan Sandwich Company, Piadinas | No Comments »

Taking advantage of the warm weather this weekend, we took a Junior Dish member out biking along Lynn Shore Drive and noticed this sign in the window the Manhattan Sandwich Company’s Swampscott storefront. Their Web site had said that this location was “closed for the season,” but it now looks like they’ve left Swampscott for good.

Thankfully, the Marblehead location remains in business, because we don’t know what we’d do if we couldn’t satisfy our occasional craving for a Mickey’s #7 (Lightly toasted bread with turkey breast, coleslaw, melted Swiss cheese and Russian dressing). And not only does the sandwich shop occupy the old Munchie’s location in the Village Plaza, the Boston Club (A triple decker of roast beef, turkey breast, imported ham, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing) is quite a respectable replacement for the erstwhile José Jr.

While we do know that a Piadina is an Italian flatbread, we don’t know anything about the incoming restaurant, so we’d love to hear from you if you do. That strip of Humphrey Street can be tough with all the competition, so we wish them luck and look forward to trying a Piadina.
